Since yesterday lunchtime, when I try to access BF2S from work, I get a DNS lookup error - bf2s.com is an unresolved hostname or something similar.  As far as I can work out, there are two possible reasons for this - either it's a fault with the DNS server we use at work OR they don't want me to access bf2s anymore.  I'm leaning towards the latter but is there anyway to test this that doesn't involve me calling our IT security team and straight out asking them?

By the way, all my other favourite non-work sites are still accessible and the DNS error message is not the same as what happens when someone accidentally looks at something that breaks the rules on what we can/can't do.  I know this because of all the pop-ups and side-windows that come from sites like IMDB.

Chuy: This is what I emailed you about... And aardfrith is also in the UK...

Funny thing is, bf2s is working fine for me now...

Hmm... conspiracy theories spring to mind...

Same here. I'm using a computer in Malibu, CA  to access the site today. I thought it was my ISA server f'n with me. Guess not. Someone git me Bill Gates on the phone damnit!!!

This should be moved to BF2s-Help

Well, that blows the "it's just a UK problem" theory out of the water...

Still leaves room for my conspiracy theories though...

Negatory. Page cannot be displayed error.

At home, in Seattle, I have comcast. At work, about 5 miles away, we have a comcast business modem and that's where I can't access bf2s from. I'm logging in through a computer in Malibu as I write this.

This DNS stuff makes baby jeebus cry.

I've been getting this, but I have my stats page in my favourites, and I can always access that, and then go to forums etc.

Post your ISP's if you are having this problem.

This problem is ISP specific. I have tried 3 different computers with my cable provider at different locations.No luck

I used a DSL computer at work and it came up. This has been going on for about 4 days now. I am actually going threw another computer now in Dallas to type this message.

Kmarion is right.... It's the ISP the problem, in my case, same ISP at work and at home. It works @ work but not @ home. Somehow there was an update in DNS entries and it's not going through everywhere

I tried a few random google searches yesterday and found that I'm having the same issues with a lot of websites. Something's fux0rd. grrrrr

Perhaps it was the new critical IE update? I'm gonna try with Firefox and Opera.

OMG. I can access BF2s through Opera. I bet it was that god damn IE patch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alert the media!!! Everyone try it. www.opera.com Let us know if it works for you!!

I'm using the latest version of Firefox so it shouldn't be related to anything to do with Internet *cough*piece of crap*cough* Explorer.

So you're having the problem too?


Someone else has to give this a try and let me know if it worked for them too.
